| description | This entry represents polyisoprenyl-teichoic acid--peptidoglycan teichoic acid transferase TagU. TagU was previously known as bacterial transcriptional regulator LytR, and was originally described a 35kDa protein which is responsible for attenuation of expression of both itself and the lytABC operon. LytABC form an N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase, which is one of the two major autolysins of B. subtilis []. This protein has since been proposed to catalyse the transfer of the anionic cell wall polymers (APs) from their lipid-linked precursor to the cell wall peptidoglycan (PG) within cell wall teichoic acid biosynthesis, hence the new name of polyisoprenyl-teichoic acid--peptidoglycan teichoic acid transferase TagU []. |
